Setting up LibreOffice - The Document Foundation Wiki

If you want the language (dictionary) setting to apply to the current document only, instead of being
the default for all new documents, select the option labeled For the current document only.
If necessary, select the options to enable support for Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese,
Korean) and support for CTL (complex text layout) languages such as Urdu, Thai, Hebrew, and
Arabic. If you choose either of these options, the next time you open this dialog, you will see some
extra choices under Language Settings, as shown below. These choices (Searching in Japanese,
Asian Layout, and Complex Text Layout) are not discussed here.

Some considerations:
• If you do not want spelling checked while you type, deselect Check spelling as you type
and select Do not mark errors. (To find the second item, scroll down in the Options list.)
• If you use a custom dictionary that includes words in all upper case and words with
numbers (for example, AS/400), select Check uppercase words and Check words with
numbers.
